August 9-15, 2017 - Chester River, Magothy River, Annapolis

After leaving Chestertown, we spent the next five nights anchoring out.  We spent two more nights off the Chester River - one night on the Langford River and the other night on Reed Creek.  Both were beautiful, peaceful anchorages.  We spent some time in the afternoons taking dinghy rides around the area.  We never get tired of the scenery.  On Friday, we crossed the Chesapeake to the western side and spent 3 nights on the Magothy River.  Since this area is between Annapolis and Baltimore, there are more homes, people, and boaters.  The first night we anchored across from a beautiful horse farm; the next two nights in a nice cove called the Glass House anchorage (because there is a big glass house at the entrance to the cove).  On Monday, we headed for Annapolis for a few days.  We docked at Annapolis Landing Marina (where we had stayed two years ago).  We had a little wait for our slip to be vacated before we could get settled in.  Once settled, we took the courtesy car and spent the afternoon running some needed errands. It rained most of Tuesday but we still ran the rest of our errands. We ate dinner Tuesday night at a little neighborhood pub, Davis' Pub, which had been featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.
